How to get a scholarship with a B- or C+ Average

Like it or not, most kids aren't the top of their class. In most high schools, the academic pecking order allows for approximately 25 students to lead the class, with the remainder of students falling in the middle-and an even smaller portion being at the very bottom.

College is fast approaching, and students sometimes have the misconception that they must have a 33 ACT with a perfect GPA to get funded for school.

Not true.

There are an abundance of scholarships that require VOLUNTEER WORK or COMMUNITY SERVICE as the focus for funding. A great way to begin serving is to contact your local Volunteer Center or City Hall and ask about volunteer opportunities. I will post great websites to research scholarships specifically geared towards volunteering. Just a few hours a week can turn into thousands of dollars in scholarship money!
